LUBBOCK, Texas - Oregon Friday-night starter Tyler Anderson has been named to the College Baseball Foundation's Pitcher of the Year award watch list, it was announced Tuesday.

Anderson is one of 49 pitchers from across the country that was named to Tuesday’s watch list. The Pitcher of the Year Award will be presented in Lubbock, Texas, on July 2 as part of the College Baseball Awards Show.
